Rebecca was the eldest of six children born to John J. Kyser (1831 OH) and Mary Wise who married on 24 Apr. 1856 in Summit Co., Ohio. Her younger siblings were Charles H. (b.1864 OH) who would marry Mary E. Liggett in 1885, Milton M. (b.1867 OH) who would marry Hattie L. in 1893, Nelson H. (b.1870 IN) who would marry Pearl M. Fullmer in 1899, Louis A. (b.1874 IN) who would marry Carrie F., and Mary E. (b.1877 IN).

I found the family on the 1880 Census living in West Twp., Marshall Co., Indiana. John was farming for a living.

On 4 Jan. 1881, Rebecca married Henry Milton Beatty in Marshall Co., Indiana. They had at least six children together--Harvey M. (b.1883), Sylvester H. (b.1884), Oliver J. (b.1885), Harey O. (b.1890), Earl E. (b.1893) and Dusky E. (b.1899). I found the family on the 1900 Census, living in Akron, Summit Co., Ohio.
